Jimmy Kimmel is firing back at Aaron Rodgers after the NFL quarterback suggested his name could be connected to the late, disgraced Jeffrey Epstein. Following his comments, Kimmel took to social media threatening to take him to court. "Dear Aasshole: for the record, I've not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any 'list' other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can't seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court."
